    DescriptionThe inscription, in Inuit syllabic, reads: "This is Nuna and his sons Noah and Josephie. Nuna is steering. As always, they are ganging up on their older brother, Tappaani. They often assaulted Tappaani because they envied his skill as a hunter. Tappaani never fought back. This was how it was amongst the family members."
